 Hyperthymesia might be associated with differences in the A) anterior cingulate cortex (ACC). B) hypothalamus. C) thalamus. D) amygdala.

 Semantic knowledge appears to be A) widely distributed throughout the association cortex. B) localized in the hippocampus. C) localized in the occipital lobes. D) localized in the frontal lobes.

 Which of the following areas of the brain serve as a "hub" for semantic processing? A) The posterior temporal lobe B) The anterior temporal lobe C) The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex D) The orbitofrontal cortex

 While naming animals or tools, participants showed activation in A) overlapping areas in the temporal lobes. B) overlapping areas in the frontal lobes. C) separate but adjacent areas in the frontal lobes. D) separate areas including the occipital, frontal, and temporal lobes.

 While undergoing brain imaging, Liam was asked to silently name types of animals. It is likely that his scan would show activity in the A) left premotor area. B) left medial occipital lobe. C) right premotor area. D) right medial occipital lobe.

 The central executive role in working memory most likely involves the A) hippocampus. B) amygdala. C) orbitofrontal cortex. D) dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and anterior cingulate cortex (ACC).

 Human infants achieve object permanence around the age of A) six months. B) seven or eight months. C) twelve months. D) eighteen months.

 Object permanence in monkeys A) does not occur. B) occurs at a much earlier developmental stage than in human infants. C) remains normal in cases of parietal lesion, but is eliminated in cases of prefrontal lesions. D) is eliminated in cases of both parietal and prefrontal lesions.

 Important attentional aspects of short-term memory require activation in the A) dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and the anterior cingulate cortex. B) dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and the posterior cingulate cortex. C) hippocampus and the anterior cingulate cortex. D) hippocampus and the posterior cingulate cortex.

 Your great uncle recently had a stroke, and there have been some subtle differences in his behavior. For example, you were playing checkers, and he was doing fine. But when your checker was "kinged" and could therefore move according to a different set of rules, he didn't seem to be able to adjust. When you asked him if he realized what the rules said, he did, but he continued to play as if he didn't. Considering what you learned about brain areas and memory, what part of his brain would you suspect has damage? A) the hippocampus B) the diencephalon C) the prefrontal cortex D) the parietal lobe
